yesterday at Kelly's/this morning on Red Hill

Yesterday afternoon at Kelly’s at around 6pm a number of us were fortunate to see three Painted Snipe feeding in the open (all females we think).  I was interested to note that my Southern African, Indian and Sri Lankan guide books all had PS in them – much more wide spread than I had imagined.  We also got to see a Pacific Black Duck with eight ducklings – interesting to see how many survive.

 

A glorious morning today on Red Hill.  Highlights were two perched wedge tail eagles being harassed (but very unconcerned) by Currawongs, and a pair of Galahs chasing about half a dozen Sulphur Crested Cockatoos (SCC).  Our assessment was that the Galahs were trying to claim some nesting hollows.  The SCC were nonplussed and when the Galahs eventually flew off, they started inspecting hollows.  A really enjoyable couple of outings!
